How hard is Ranger School, Really?

I love reading Havoc Journal. They have a good perspective of current topics. I think we have learned about the what woman can do but not a lot what Ranger will throw at them. A lot of the time I see people just say that they can do it. What I question is do they even know what they are saying. Do they care about the mission of Ranger School or do they just want a female soldier to get the tab. This story is a good insight to what it is about.

How Hard Is Ranger School, Really?

Ranger School: the journey is as the sign says, not for the weak and faint of heart.

Excellent article CPT Private RallyPoint Member ... definitely supplemented what I knew about Ranger school. I also signed up for the newsletter!

Do tell us oh resident expert. I've known a few people who have gone through it and they've each said it's brutal physically but one of the best schools they've gone to.

Good article CPT Private RallyPoint Member. I thought is was the hardest thing I ever did in the Army, and in life, and I was lucky I never got recycled. I was also wondering how those 8 remaining women were doing. No news is good I guess.

I have already wanted to see what ranger school was like, unfortunately being a candidate for the USAF was only available for certain career fields. I think I would be mentally prepared, if I fail, it would most definitely be physical.

Pat Tillman thought he was not got to pass the school at one point.
